Contextual Overview
1 On the tenth day of the tenth month in the ninth year of his rule, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem. His army set up their tents around the city, and built a wall all around it. 2 The city had the army of Babylon around it until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. 3 On the ninth day of the fourth month, there was no food left in the city. There was no more food for the people of the land. 4 Then the city was broken into. All the men of war ran away during the night between the two walls beside the king's garden. The Babylonians were all around the city, but the men left by the way of the Arabah. 5 Then the Babylonian army went after the king and came to him in the plains of Jericho. All his army ran away from him. 6 The Babylonians took the king and brought him to the king of Babylon at Riblah. And Nebuchadnezzar told him how he must be punished. 7 They killed Zedekiah's sons in front of his eyes. Then they put out Zedekiah's eyes and tied him up in chains, and brought him to Babylon.
